I can easily get a 4.3 Ghz OC on my cpu with my h80i and Mpower Max z87, but I do not want to use a fixed voltage. I would like my cpu clock speed and voltage to decrease when idle and increase when under load. I was able to make my cpu ratio decrease when idle by setting the cpu ratio to 43 and setting it to dynamic in BIOS.
My problem is with the voltage. I set my voltage to my desired 1.230 volts and set it to adaptive, along with my offset mode to minus and auto(Because wouldnt setting the voltage offset to minus lower it, not increase it?). With these settings, both the multiplier and voltage lower, but when I run a stress test, the voltage goes over 1.230 volts at times, sometimes even reaching 1.3 volts.
I have seen this happen on default also, with no overclocking, when the multiplier goes to its 3.9 Ghz boost, the voltage boosts up to 1.150 volts on light tasks, but when doing an extreme stress test, it may go even higher to 1.219 volts according to cpuz (1.245 volts according to multi meter). Is this normal because of IEST?
On my 4.3 Ghz overclock, I tried setting the voltage to override and the offset to minus and then gave the offset a value, thinking that the offset will be the the amount of voltage lowered when idle, but then the voltage is basically 1.230 volts (minus) the offset voltage I gave at all times, not only when idle. It does not increase to 1.230 when i run a stress test.
My main question is if anyone with more experience in clickbios 4 could tell me if there is a way to lower voltages when idle without making it go over the given value when under load?(or set a maximum voltage). Is this happening because if IEST, or is it some motherboard setttings?
